"Brother Qu, why did you wander out?" Qu Wuming looked back and saw Sikong Ying'er and Han Tian walking side by side from behind the screen wall.
"It's younger brother..." Qu Wuming originally wanted to call him "younger brother and sister", but found that he still didn't know whether Han Tian and Ying'er had achieved anything good, so he couldn't yell randomly, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Hello Ying'er!"
Ying'er was delighted when she heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Brother Qu, what's the accent? Is 'Shidi' his hometown dialect?"
"Haha... I was distracted just now. I made a slip of the tongue. I made a slip of the tongue." Qu Wuming laughed, "This is the place where you usually practice your martial arts, right? How do you build it so solidly?"
"It's not good if it's not strong. Brother Qu doesn't know. What you see now is already after the third renovation." Ying'er pointed at Han Tian with a smile and said, "We accidentally destroyed the previous ones. The most exaggerated one was that he and Yun Feng almost collapsed the house in the front yard."
"Awesome! Haha..." Qu Wuming stretched out his thumb and shook it, "How could I have such good conditions when I was your age?"
"Brother Qu has been practicing for more than a thousand years. What was the Eastern Continent like more than a thousand years ago?" Ying'er blinked and asked with some curiosity.
"More than a thousand years ago?" Qu Wuming recalled briefly, "It's not much different from today. It's just that at that time, the secret struggle between the Eastern Continent Tianjing Division and the Futi Kingdom had already come to an end. The Futi Kingdom Although it has been split, Tianjing Division has not gained much benefit and can only continue to develop in a low-key manner in the Eastern Continent as it is now. The world at that time was much more chaotic than it is now, and many sects even rose and fell in one night. There will be changes in between.
"Of the most powerful sects at that time, quite a few are still among the 'Nine Sects, Eight Sects and Thirteen Sects' today, and some have long since disappeared and lost their inheritance. However, your Lingyin Sect has developed. Yes, more than a thousand years ago it could only be regarded as a small and medium-sized sect, but now it can be regarded as a large power like a 'prince' in the Eastern Continent."
Qu Wuming's body seemed to be a little weak, maybe because he talked too much at once, his body suddenly swayed and he almost fell down. Han Tian hurriedly took two steps forward, supported Qu Wuming, and walked towards the pavilion next to the training ground.
"Brother, your body is still relatively weak now. Before I refine the elixir, you can use more food containing spiritual power to replenish your body. Why not drink some fairy tea first!" After sitting down, Han Tian went from the storage Jie Zhong took out a tea set and placed it on the table.
On the right hand side is a small red clay stove more than three inches high, with a red clay kettle of the same material placed on it. The surface is dark red, with simple yet atmospheric patterns carved on it. On the right is a dark purple teapot, which is as smooth as jade and has fine sand. It looks like it is made of the finest purple clay. The three matching tea cups next to it are covered with faint blue patterns like water ripples. The most rare thing is that the patterns on the three tea cups are almost exactly the same.
Han Tian flicked his fingers, and a small red firebird flew out from his fingertips and fell into the small red clay stove below. After a while, the spring water in the red clay pot above started to steam.
Qu Wuming recognized the firebird sleeping lazily in the middle of the stove at a glance, and asked in surprise: "Brother Xian, you actually use the fire spirit to boil water?"
"Well, it boils water faster." Han Tian said with a smile, while opening a tea can made of black sand and mud next to him, casually grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put it into the purple clay pot, then lifted the kettle and put it in The boiling water was slowly poured in, and a scent of tea suddenly wafted out of the teapot.
"Come on, brother, try it. This is the Old Tree Immortal Tea from Wuling Mountain." Han Tian poured the tea into three teacups, then respectfully picked up a cup and handed it to Qu Wuming.
“Good tea!”
Qu Wuming took the tea cup and sniffed lightly, and a fragrance instantly poured into his nose. Smelling the refreshing aroma of tea, looking at the clear tea soup in the cup, Qu Wuming nodded and praised: "And it is indeed produced by that old tree. Tea!"
When the fairy tea entered the mouth, it was fresh and elegant, with endless aftertaste. The spiritual power contained in the tea was accumulated and dispersed in his belly, making Qu Wuming feel that the hidden wounds in his body seemed to be better.
Putting down the tea cup, Han Tian hurriedly picked up the teapot and gave Qu Wuming another cup.
Qu Wuming pondered thoughtfully for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say: "Brother Xian, actually I had a question to ask you when we last met, but unfortunately there were too many people at the time, so I was embarrassed to ask."
"Brother, please ask me!"
"I remember that at the previous auction in Xianghezhai, you spent 320,000 high-level spiritual stones just to buy my Yuansha sword, right?"
"Zero hundred!" Han Tian raised a finger and added with a smile.
"Well, yes, zero hundred!" Qu Wuming also smiled. Recalling that his entire net worth at that time was only more than 300,000 high-level spiritual stones, every time he raised a bid, Han Tian would suppress it with "zero one hundred". If he hadn't abided by the rules of the auction house, he would have wanted to slap him in the face. Beat that troublemaker to death.
"That day you spent nearly a million on spiritual stones alone, and you also took out many thousand-year elixirs. I have always been curious, why are you so rich at such a young age?" Qu Wuming stared at Han closely. Tian's eyes seemed to be afraid that Han Tian would lie about this matter. You must know that the more than 300,000 high-level spiritual stones that he participated in the auction were saved for an unknown amount of time. On weekdays, I have to practice and consume. To be able to save that number of high-level spiritual stones, I don’t know how much energy I have spent and how many lives and deaths I have experienced - but what about my sworn brother? Even at his age, he is not even close to his own, but his spending is so generous that it is beyond his reach - Qu Wuming once doubted whether Han Tian and the others were the illegitimate children of a big boss in the Lingyin Sect...
"Because I am an alchemist." Han Tian seemed to feel that his current financial situation was normal and answered without hesitation.
"I've seen a lot of alchemists... not many are as generous as you." Qu Wuming curled his lips, indicating that this answer was not convincing enough for him, "I bought a sword with more than 300,000 high-level spiritual stones. I just gave it away." I’m giving it away; one tael of tea costs two hundred high-level spiritual stones of the Wuling Mountain Old Tree Immortal Tea. Others just count the roots to brew it, but how about you? One brew is a big handful..."
Sikong Ying'er listened on the side and said with a smile: "Brother Qu, have you ever heard of 'Gu Yan Dan'?"
"Of course. It is the 'specialty' of your Spirit Seal Sect. I heard that it has been sold to Middle-earth for a long time. It is very expensive to buy and the supply exceeds the demand."
"Han Tian donated the elixir to the sect, so the sect will give us a large share of the sales every year." Sikong Ying'er smiled slightly and continued, "We got a lot of Wannian Ling from Xiaolingtian earlier. Medicine, after being refined into elixirs, its value will be even higher.”
"It's really annoying to compare people to each other, haha..." Qu Wuming smiled and sighed, shook his head and said, "I have been practicing to this day, eating and sleeping, going through life and death, and the spiritual stones I earned have to be used for cultivation. Buying treasures, finding people to do things... you may not be able to save ten thousand or twenty thousand in a few years. It's a pity that my parents didn't make me an alchemist in the first place?"
"Brother is making fun of me, haha..." Han Tian smiled slightly and said, "Alchemist, Talisman Maker, and Weapon Refiner, these three professions are all good at making money. Other alchemists may just be more restrained in spending money. That's all, that's why I seem relatively low-key. As for me, firstly, I only judge whether the spiritual stone is worth spending based on its use. Whether it is spiritual stone or elixir, as long as it is for my own use, I don't think it is a waste; secondly, I don't think it is a waste. Come on, I did have some adventures in the early years, and every year the sect distributed a lot of them. As the saying goes, if you have food in hand, you won’t panic, so you don’t take the spirit stones too seriously. When you meet what you want, If you like something, just buy it.”
"Showing off your wealth, this is called showing off your wealth nakedly..." Qu Wuming, with a sour look on his face, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"By the way, Brother Qu, have you ever heard that there was a Princess Ruoli in the Ruohan Kingdom more than three hundred years ago?" Sikong Ying'er on the side suddenly asked.
"Princess Ruoli of Ruohan Country?" Qu Wuming thought for a while, nodded first, and then shook his head and said, "I have been to Ruohan Country many times. The people there are simple and simple, and there are many Taoists. , there are also many people who practice Taoism in the fairy mountains and large lakes under their jurisdiction. There did appear a Princess Ruoli more than three hundred years ago. It seemed to be some kind of rare 'Dharma Mysterious Body'. It is said that if she awakens, she can say She is as capable as a true fairy. But this princess seems to have passed away at a very young age. However, this matter seems to involve a scandal in the royal family of the Ruohan Kingdom. The specific information is regarded as confidential by the Ruohan Kingdom. Details I don’t quite understand.”
"By the way, why are you suddenly asking about this?" Qu Wuming asked a little confused.
"It's okay." Sikong Ying'er shook her head slightly.
Regarding Princess Ruoli's curse on her previous life, Sikong Ying'er always felt that there should be some hidden secrets that she didn't know about, so she asked Qu Wuming, a "passer", and saw that Qu Wuming didn't know anything more, so she stopped asking. , but sighed: "I heard someone tell the story of Princess Ruoli before. I heard that she felt that she had been deceived by the man she loved. In a rage, she ignored the fact that she had just awakened to the Dharma Mysterious Body, so she She made a curse at the cost of her own life, and in the end she died, the man she loved died, and many relatives were buried with her... After hearing this story, I just feel a little sorry for her."
"It's indeed a pity." Qu Wuming nodded, "A great age, with endless possibilities in the future, withered away early because of the word 'love', which is extremely worthless. Maybe, at the time, she just felt that if she could not get The other party is the regret that is difficult to overcome in my life, so I chose the most decisive path impulsively. However, who can live without some regrets in life? Maybe regret itself is a part of life..."
